Its actually quite cold in my little studio since I never have heat on. From touch its does not seem like anything is over heating.
Any ideas guys? I wish i could just buy a new comp, but the is not and option.
thanks guys,

I'd start with taking the CPU fan/heatsink off and cleaning it with a proper paste cleaner and re- applying some Arctic Silver paste.
